COMBINED CURTAIN AND SHADE FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 12, 1916.

Application filed September 27, 1915. Serial No. 52,912.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL J ONES, a citizenof the United States, residing at Youngstown, in the county of Mahoningand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCombined Curtain and Shade Fixtures; and I dodeclare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

This invention relates to improvements in combination curtain and shadefixtures, and has for its object to provide an extremely efi icientdevice of this character which because of its simplicity of constructionmay be very inexpensively manufactured.

A further object is to provide a device which will support either one ortwo curtain poles in addition' to the shade roller.

WVith the foregoing general objects in view, my invention resides in thenovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of partswhich will hereinafter be more particularly described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 represents a-perspective viewshowing the position assumed by the parts when supporting a pair ofcurtain poles; Fig. 2 is a similar view showing one curtain pole beingsup ported by the fixture.

In the accompanying drawing is shown my improved fixture applied toaportion of a window frame 1.

The fixture comprises an attaching foot 2 by which the device may beapplied to the window frame, a right angular arm 3 being formedintegrally at one edge of said foot and projecting laterally therefrom.One portion 4: of this arm extends outwardly and preferably at rightangles to the window frame 1 and has formed on its upper edge a notch 5adapted to receive one end of a shade roller (not shown). While I haveshown but one fixture having therein a notch or slot 5, it is obviousthat the cooperating fixture has a round opening in its arm to receivethe trunnion of the shade roller. The other portion 6 of the rightangular arm 3 has formed integrally with its free end, a main polesupport 7 which has a notch 8 formed therein to receive a curtain pole.As it may be desired to use poles of different diameters, at differenttimes, I provide an additional notch 9 of slightly smaller size than thenotch 8 as shown. The upright arms 10 which are formed by the notch 8are of suificient length to easily support any pole, one of said arms,preferably the outermost, bemg provided with an aperture adapted toreceive a pivot pin 11 which carries a supplemental pole support 12having notches 13 and 14 in its upper edge similar to the notches 8 and9. A laterally projecting stop 15 is formed on one edge of thesupplemental support 12 and is adapted to abut the outer edge of theoutermost arm 10 when said supplemental support is swung outwardly asshown in Fig. 1.

It is obvious that when the user of this fixture desires to supportapair of curtain poles, the supplemental support is swung to itsextended position as shown in the aforementioned figure, and that whenone pole is to be supported, the supplemental support is swung over themain support and the curtain pole therein. Should it become necessary,the supplemental arm, when only one pole is used, may be forceddownwardly to clamp the curtain pole between one of the notches in itsedge and the main support.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided avery neat and efficient fixture which will support either one or twopoles with equal facility.

While I have described the elements best adapted to perform thefunctions set forth, it is obvious that certain changes in the form,proportion, and in the minor details of construction may be resorted towithin the scope of the appended claim, without departing from, orsacrificing any of the principles of this invention.

I claim as my invention:

A combined shade and curtain fixture comprising an attaching foot, anarm extending therefrom, a main pole support on the free end of saidarm, and a supplemental pole support pivoted thereto, said supplementalsupport being adapted to be swung outwardly when the device is used withtwo poles, or swung over the main support when the device is used withone pole.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

DANIEL JONES. Witnesses:

JOHN M. Puoonvn, HARRY C. WAGNER.
